This made me laugh myself silly. I've been saying for years, if you allow religion in your politics, you don't get to limit it to just one religion, you have to let them all in. And there are a lot of them, some--shall we say--less than mainstream. I'm sure that most of the supporters of the Ten Commandments monument are horrified by the design of this one. But I can't help myself, I find it hilarious. It was clearly designed for both reactions.

Group unveils Satan statue design for Oklahoma
A satanic group unveiled designs Monday for a 7-foot-tall statue of Satan it wants to put at the Oklahoma state Capitol, where a Ten Commandments monument was placed in 2012. . .
I rarely litter the blog with words worse then damn or hell (though I've been known to sneak a few shits and fucks through!). But truth be told, I often censor myself. I've hit the delete key, and replaced a colorful word with one that is less so. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind taking that self-imposed restriction off a little more often. The world today often calls for it. But even if I did, I'd be unable to match the flair and the organic profanity of The Rude Pundit. With or without expletives, he's always on point.

Gingrich Wins South Carolina as the GOP Embraces
the Devil
. . .The idea that Newt Gingrich is positioning himself as some kind of Washington
outsider is so laughable that it's pathetic. He has physically lived in the DC
area for over 30 years. That meeting with members of Congress in 2008 wasn't
some kind of anomaly: it's what he's been doing since he waswhipped out of
Congress by the members of his own party, not by Democrats, not by the elite
media he so derides and uses as a safe foil for his own arrogance. The idea that
a multimillionaire can position himself as the poor man against Romney is
mind-boggling. The idea that he can keep berating the press without anyone in
the press calling him on it is just depressing. . .

Posted only because of the funny first-glance image of this particular screen capture. It's from TVNewser, an informative source of information about television news. Just don't wander into the commentary boards, it's like FOX Nation let out for recess in there.
This one is posted especially for my friend and some-time contributor, Stupid Monkey Planet. He knows why. As for the rest of you, sorry for the gruesome imagery!
There's a group of whack-a-doodles out there who believe that President Barack Obama is the anti-Christ, or worse, the devil himself. How this could be true is puzzling, since even a heathen like me knows that the anti-Christ does not rise until after the Rapture. Since we haven't seen millions of believers ascending bodily to heaven, leaving their clothes (and running cars, and airplanes) behind, I've got to assume the Rapture hasn't happened. Or that the rules were so strict, that so few Christians were raptured, we didn't even notice.
Rachel Maddow had an amusing segment on her show Monday, airing "proof" that Obama is eeevil. It entails playing Obama's speeches backward (like The Beatles' White Album), and deciphering the wicked subliminal messages within. Rachel even titled her usual "Rachel Re:" segment, "er lehcar." Cute! Because what else can we do but laugh at these people?
